Hey I need some help creating a battle system for my text adventure.
If anyone can help I'd be glad.

Well yeah, I could probably help, but just by saying you need help on any old battle system for a text adventure leaves everything wide open. Do you have some code, background, or anything we can work with?

The rest of your text adventure would be a start... Stats? Something?

And also what you've envisioned it to look like would be good to know.

I don't really know what I want it to look like(I'm pretty new to programming ). I suppose it will show a picture of the enemy, and show the stats. Otherwise I'm open to anything.

You've included only the project file. The source is missing. That'd be the .dba file in the same directory as the .dbpro file.

I did a text adventure with this kind of format a year or two ago. For a battle system, I had a "main screen" subroutine that gave the player their options.

That then sent them to another subroutine based on what they entered. This decreases the health variables appropriately and tells them what happened. Then it sends them back to the main one...and so on.

I am having some trouble with this piece of my code
becauase once the enemies life or the player's life goes to zero or below it keeps going until you justpress enter.

Also when your in battle if you don't press a number before you press enter it freezes.

Well, don't just take my code and copy and paste it, you should look at what's different between yours and mine. But, if what you are trying to do, is end the program when the player or enemy dies, then here is what I came up with.
